Lara Haworth is a writer, visual artist and filmmaker. 

​

Her debut novel, Monumenta, will be published by Canongate in June 2024.

​

Her literary work is represented by Jo Bell at Bell Lomax Moreton.

​

Her films use a mixture of still images and home video footage, often underscored by a voiceover that merges fact with fiction, creating associative, dreamlike and sometimes ironic meditations on the realities of the world in which we live. 

​

Her visual work enacts participatory installations that ask audiences to re-imagine or reinterpret their lived environments.

​

All of her projects have a fascination with everyday, civic and bureaucratic rituals, and with the secrets, failures and joys of public places, institutions and ideas.

​

She is a recipient of a Bridport Prize 2022 for her story, Monumenta, adapted from her novel of the same name.

​

She lives in London, UK.
